Famulari Santo Stefano Sicilian Majolica Face Tea Light Centerpiece
Striking hand-thrown and hand-painted majolica centerpiece by Famulari Ceramiche, Santo Stefano di Camastra, Sicily, featuring twenty fixed cup forms arranged on three ascending tiers around a central handle. Each cup is sculpted with a whimsical human face—arched brows, curling moustache, and expressive eyes—rendered in vivid yellow, turquoise, and cobalt blue glazes. The piece transforms light into a lively play of reflections across the smiling faces, a joyful expression of Sicilian folk artistry.
Signed “Famulari Santo Stefano” on the underside.
Condition
Good overall condition with multiple small chips along cup rims and base edge. Minor glaze losses and firing irregularities typical of hand-crafted Sicilian majolica. No structural cracks; colors remain bright and glossy.
